Hint
Look at the title of the teaser!Answer
1:0113:12
7:06
The number in the "hours" position is the numerator of a fraction and the number in the "minutes" position is the denominator. Write the fractions so that all of the "denominators" are 12 , then reduce to lowest terms.
The sequence is:
6:12 (reduced to 1:02)
7:12
8:12 (reduced to 2:03)
9:12 (reduced to 3:04)
10:12 (reduced to 5:06)
11:12
So, the next three terms are:
1:01 (12:12 reduced)
13:12
7:06 (14:12 reduced)
